Weird BUT true

Alexa, can you shut your mouth while I’m chillin’?

Saint Louis University in Missouri plans to put 2,300 Amazon Echo Dot devices in student residences by the start of the fall semester.

The devices will be able to answer 100 university-specific questions like, “What time does the library close tonight?” It’s grand theft ramen. Police say crooks looted nearly $100,000 worth of noodles from a tractor trailer parked at a Fayettevil­le, Ga., gas station last month.

The 53-foot truck was locked, said police who are pressing their hunt for the noodle-nappers. Little fish, meet Jaws. “It’s a big one,” a man encourages a 14-year-old Massachuse­tts boy reeling in a bass on a fishing video until . . . a giant white shark leaps out of the water and gobbles up the catch.

“Holy s--t!” the man yells in the background of the footage posted online by the Atlantic White Shark Conservanc­y.

Someone wasn’t minding their Ps and ’ques.

A plane taking off from an airport in Springfiel­d, Mo., nearly collided with an airport van of employees crossing the runway to get to a barbecue.

The NTSB is investigat­ing the near-miss on June 27 between the Chicagobou­nd Envoy Air jetliner, carrying 50 passengers, and the van whose driver, Jim Brown, said he thought he had gotten clearance to cross Runway 14.

A woman from China was totally taken by surprise when she opened up a box of health products she had ordered online — and found lizard and crocodile carcasses.

The woman told local media that she noticed a strange odor coming from one of the packages that had arrived at her door.

When she opened up the box, she discovered the remains of the two reptiles both about 3 feet long.
